night parade
After-dark procession
A night parade is a parade held after dark, typically featuring illuminated floats, lanterns, or lights as central visual elements.
Theme parks are known for their night parades: We stayed late to catch the electrical night parade at Disneyland.
In Japanese folklore, the night parade of a hundred demons (hyakki yagyō) describes a procession of supernatural creatures roaming the streets after dark.
